Lyrics:
Shuttled through narrow gaps,<br />
All these walls line our trap.<br />
Brick and steel, glass, concrete,<br />
No more field and no more tree.<br />
<br />
Babel Babel rising<br />
Cleaves the air.<br />
Babel Babel winding<br />
Climbs the stair.<br />
Baby baby, listen,<br />
Can't you hear?<br />
Babble babble<br />
Is the language here.<br />
<br />
Windows stack ladder lines;<br />
In between, the gutters climb.<br />
Edges cut, corners meet;<br />
Angles tear at the angel's wings.<br />
<br />
High above checkered streets<br />
Pitch the roof at the peak.<br />
Pigeon coo, patch of blue,<br />
Pinhole sun in a penthouse room.<br />
<br />
Babel Babel<br />
Rising cleaves the air.<br />
Babel Babel<br />
Winding climbs the stair.<br />
Baby baby, listen,<br />
Can't you hear?<br />
Babble babble<br />
Braying in my ears.<br />
<br />
Higher still, raise the cranes;<br />
Lift us up beyond our fate.<br />
Kiss the mouth of heaven's bell<br />
From the pinnacles of hell.<br />
<br />
One more floor, two more feet;<br />
Always just out of reach.<br />
One more brick, almost there;<br />
Vanish in the thinning air.<br />
<br />
Babel Babel<br />
Rising cleaves the air.<br />
Babel Babel<br />
Winding climbs the stair.<br />
Baby baby, listen,<br />
Can't you hear?<br />
Babble babble<br />
Fills the atmosphere.<br />
<br />
Babel Babel<br />
Rising cleaves the air.<br />
Babel Babel<br />
Winding climbs the stair.<br />
Baby baby, listen,<br />
Can't you hear?<br />
Babble babble<br />
Echoes everywhere.<br />
<br />
<br />
